Drive Cycle

PROCEDURE
There are 6 drive patterns of drive cycles A - F for the trouble diagnosis. Performing the specified drive pattern allows to diagnose malfunctioning items listed. After the malfunctioning items listed below are repaired, always check if they correctly resume their functions by performing the required drive pattern.

1. PREPARATION FOR DRIVE CYCLE
1. Check battery voltage is more than 12 V and fuel remains half [20 - 40 l (5.3 - 10.6 US gal, 4.4 - 8.8 Imp gal)].
2. After clearing the memory, check for any remaining unresolved trouble data. Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
3. Disconnect the test mode connector.

NOTE:
- Except for the water temperature specified items at starting, be sure to carry out the diagnosis after the engine is warmed up.
- For the DTC which has * mark on it, carry out the diagnosis twice. After finishing first diagnosis, stop the engine, and do the second diagnosis at the same condition.

P0125-P2103:




2. DRIVE CYCLE A (AFTER RUNNING 20 MINUTES AT 80 KM/H (50 MPH), IDLE THE ENGINE FOR 1 MINUTE.)

P0126-P2103:




3. DRIVE CYCLE B (TEN MINUTES IDLING)




P0026-P2103:




4. DRIVE CYCLE C (DRIVE ACCORDING TO THE GIVEN DRIVE PATTERN)

5. DRIVE CYCLE D

DRIFT DIAGNOSIS
1. Make sure that the engine coolant temperature at engine starting is less than 30 degrees C (86 degrees F).
2. Make sure that fuel remains more than 9.0 l (2.4 US gal, 2.0 Imp gal) and the battery voltage is more than 10.9 V.
3. Make sure that the engine coolant temperature rises for more than 10 degrees C (18 degrees F) from the level of engine starting and is also above 75 degrees C (167 degrees F).
4. Idle the engine for more than 120 seconds in the condition of step 3.

STUCK DIAGNOSIS
1. Make sure that the battery voltage is more than 10.9 V.
2. Perform the Clear Memory Mode. Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
3. Drive the vehicle for the distance equal to the fuel of 50 l (13.2 US gal, 11 Imp gal).






NOTE:
- It is possible to drive intermittently.
- Do not disconnect the terminal of battery during diagnosis. (Disconnecting the terminal of battery will clear the data.)

6. DRIVE CYCLE E
1. Make sure that the battery voltage is more than 10.9 V.
2. Perform the Clear Memory Mode. Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
3. Drive the vehicle for the distance equal to the fuel of 30 l (7.9 US gal, 6.6 Imp gal).






NOTE:
- It is possible to drive intermittently.
- Do not disconnect the terminal of battery during diagnosis. (Disconnecting the terminal of battery will clear the data.)

7. DRIVE CYCLE F
1. Make sure that the engine coolant temperature at engine starting is less than 30 degrees C (86 degrees F).
2. Warm-up the engine until engine coolant temperature rises above 95 degrees C (203 degrees F) after starting the engine.
3. Idle the engine for more than 10 minutes in the condition of step 2.






NOTE: Do not disconnect the terminal of battery during diagnosis. (Disconnecting the terminal of battery will clear the data.)
